■ Well I sold the farm to take my woman where she longed to be
C                                        Bb       F        
We left our kin and all our friends back there in Tennessee
                           Bb              F7              Bb 
And I bought those one way tickets she had often begged me for
         C                         Gm        F
And they took us to the streets of Baltimore ■
         C                                       F                    
Well her heart was filled with gladness when she saw those city lights


[Chorus]
    F                                                       
She said the prettiest place on earth was Baltimore at night
C    Gm C   F                  Bb             F                  Bb 
Well ■  ■ a man feels proud to give his woman what she's longing for
      C       Gm       C          F        
And I kind of like the streets of Baltimore

[Verse]
                    Bb          F            Bb     
Then I got myself a factory job I ran an old machine
      C               C7           Bb           F     
And I bought a little cottage in a neighborhood serene
                     Bb            F                 Bb  
And every night when I'd come home with every muscle sore
C             C7          C          F        
She'd drag me through the streets of Baltimore


[Chorus]
       C      C7                        F                  
Well I did my best to bring her back to what she used to be
                                                                      C7 Gm C7
Then I soon learned she loved those bright lights more than she loved me ■  ■ 
          F             Bb                   F               Bb    
Now I'm a going back on that same train that brought me here before
         C    Gm        C          F        
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore
         C                         F         Csus4 F
While my baby walks the streets of Baltimore ■     ■
